Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Mindsweeper jailbreak shooting

Minesweeper (10 mins)

Area:

Create an area with poles or different coloured discs, cones to the cones in the square. Size will be dictated on number of players but 5 in the middle would be 10m x 10m.

Equipment:

Cones, bibs, poles or discs & balls.

Objective:

Split the players in 2 teams.Standard jailbreak game. Each player with a ball dribbling trying to avoid the cones.each coach will also roll a ball in to try and hit the ankles. If they dribble, hit a cone or are hit on the ankles they are in jail. If they dribble through without being hit or hitting a cone they take a shot at goal before the edge of the area (or marked line on astro). If they score they can relase a team mate from jail. If they miss they go to jail. The other team wins when all the players from one team are in jail.

Make the cones in the middle active mines. If a player dribbles into a cone they incure a point.Add more cones in the middle or reduce the area.

Key Points:

Ephasise the need to look up and scan between touches.Manouver the ball away from danger.
